Porsche 718 Spyder

The vehicle in detail

Chassis No. WP0CC2A86MS240071

Fans of the Porsche brand are notoriously fickle; their preferences rooted in both nostalgia and an intense expectation of continuous improvement. As a result, the Stuttgart marque must carefully thread the needle with each new model and update. Introduced in 2019, the 718 Spyder stands as perhaps the finest modern evocation of Porsche’s original 356 No. 1 and the racing Spyders of the mid-1950s—its name historically linked to the type number of the famous RSK model. The technical specification, as expected, is quite impressive. Mounted amidships, the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six produces 414 horsepower mated to a six-speed manual transmission that powers the rear wheels. Performance is exceptional as well, with the run to 60 mph flashing by in 4.2 seconds on the way to a top speed of 187 mph. These impressive numbers match the spectacular driving dynamics with Car and Driver stating “it goes and stops like a slot car with a just-cleaned commutator.”

Those who have experienced the Spyder’s all-around performance, like the original owner of this optional Carrara White Metallic example, can certainly share the sentiment! Ordered via Prestige Porsche, now known as Porsche Denver West, this example was additionally ordered with High Gloss Black Brake Calipers and LED Headlights with Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS+) on the exterior. The interior features the highly desirable Spyder Classic Interior Package for $2,800 that decorates cabin and Full Bucket Seats with a warm two-tone leather and Alcantara. Additionally, the interior is optioned with Illuminated Stainless Steel Door-Sill Guards, Navigation including Porsche Connect, and BOSE Surround Sound System. All told, these factory-fitted options added $16,530 to the price with the car retailing at an impressive $115,180. The Spyder remained with the original Colorado-based owner, servicing at Porsche Tucson and Stevinson Porsche, now Porsche Littleton.

According to the clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, the car changed hands at approximately 5,000 miles and again at 8,200. It was acquired by the consignor at 9,000 miles as a Porsche Certified Pre-Owned example from Hilton Head Island Porsche—a certification that is noted to remain with the car and is transferrable to the new owner. In their care, the car has continued its regular maintenance schedule with Flat Edge Autoworks with invoices on file and has been enjoyed on the Palmetto lined backroads of the American Southeast. A copy of a Vehicle Information report indicates a small number of stage 3 overspeed ignitions. It is now offered with a low count of 13,338 miles at cataloging, a clean CARFAX Vehicle History Report, the balance of its Porsche CPO warranty, and the expectation that it will deliver its next owner the same thrilling blend of precision, engagement, and open-air performance that defines the 718 Spyder.
